The XC5VFX70T-1FFG1136I integrates 24 RocketIO GTP transceivers rated for 1.0–6.4 Gbps operation. Each transceiver supports protocol-specific encoding such as 8b/10b for PCI Express Gen1 and 64b/66b for Serial RapidIO, with deterministic latency under 5 ns for loopback configurations. This rating is validated per Xilinx DS100 specification document revision 2.12.
Does XC5VFX70T-1FFG1136I support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC5VFX70T-1FFG1136I supports dynamic partial reconfiguration through its ICAP interface and dedicated frame-based bitstream loading mechanism. This allows runtime replacement of logic modules without resetting the entire device or interrupting active PowerPC core execution - a capability confirmed in Xilinx UG191 v3.1 and used in satellite payload updates.
What is the operating temperature range for XC5VFX70T-1FFG1136I?
XC5VFX70T-1FFG1136I is specified for industrial and extended temperature operation from –40°C to +100°C junction temperature. It meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class V screening requirements and is qualified for use in sealed chassis environments with forced-air or conductive cooling per Xilinx AR41127.
How many PowerPC 440 cores does XC5VFX70T-1FFG1136I contain?
XC5VFX70T-1FFG1136I contains exactly two hard PowerPC 440 processor cores, each with independent 64 KB instruction and 64 KB data L1 caches, 32 KB of local memory, and dedicated AXI bus interfaces. Both cores are accessible simultaneously and support symmetric or asymmetric multiprocessing configurations.
What configuration modes are supported by XC5VFX70T-1FFG1136I?
XC5VFX70T-1FFG1136I supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) configuration modes. Master SelectMAP is the default for standalone operation using external BPI flash, while JTAG is used for debugging and boundary-scan validation per IEEE 1149.1 compliance.
